Cubs' pitchers destroy their strength coach's car

[RightIsWrong]

To have done this kind of damage to it.

According to multiple media reports out of Chicago, his 1995 Nissan Sentra was almost unrecognizable after someone or something destroyed it. The windows were smashed, the doors tied closed, the trunk peeled up and the roof punctured.

When he saw a couple of baseball bats and balls placed around the car ?

"I figured [Jon] Lieber, [Kerry] Wood immediately, [Ryan] Dempster ?" he said, according to The Chicago Tribune. "Then I realized it was every pitcher we have."

Players allowed Buss to fume for a while. The coach was trying to figure out how to tell his wife about her car.

"It's a shame," Lieber said, according to the newspaper. "What kind of person would do something like that? It really just shocks me. I'm sure she'll understand."

Dempster finally told Buss to take a look at something else in the parking lot.

When he walked out, several players handed him the keys to a brand new Nissan Xterra SUV.

Almost moved to tears, Buss said, according to the Tribune, "They're great guys."

A 95 Sentra? They were just embarrassed to have their cars in the same parking lot with that thing.

Fixed to make your point more obvious.

That's not at all what I intended.

Yes, because before they barely had the strength to bash his car in.

But they don't make that much!

 

[skace]

Hahahaha, that is so awesome.

 

[Lamont Burns]

I'm surprised with players like Lieber, Wood and Dempster that they didn't get season ending arm problems while bashing the car in.

If I was rich I'd do stuff like this all the time.

Cheap? I think that's very practical and fitting for the situation. Why the hell would you buy someone driving a '95 Sentra something super expensive, which would cost an arm and a leg to upkeep. They chose the right car.

 

[Toonces]

For some reason I'm reminded of this.

Uh, there's nothing wrong with the xterra. I was implying they should have given him some more stuff too, like perhaps a Phenom 9600 and a year subscription to WoW

 

[OVERKILL]

What a great story.

More rich people should consider giving away some of their money and helping others.

baseball has the worst pranks ever.
